TO  APPLICANTS  FOR  STATE  CERTIFICATES. 


The  certificating  of  teachers  is  provided  for  by  Statute  and  by 
State  Board  of  Education  provisions  as  governed  by  Law. 

A  Secretary  is  provided  by  Law.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  Secretary  to 
care  for  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  State  Certificating  of  Teachers  and 
to  present  the  applications  with  the  necessary  data  to  the  State  Board 
of  Education  at  each  meeting. 

The  Law  provides  for  the  expense  of  four  meetings  a  year,  hence  ap¬ 
plications  and  data  sent  to  the  Secretary  cannot  be  acted  upon  by  the 
Board  until  they  meet. 

Those  desiring  to  secure  State  certificates  through  the  State  Board 
of  Education  should  write  to  the  “Secretary  of  the  State  Board  of 
Education,  Topeka,  Kansas,”  stating  clearly  what  kind  of  a  certificate 
is  wanted,  giving  their  qualifications;  then  the  proper  blanks  and  direc¬ 
tions  will  be  sent  to  them. 

When  the  blanks  have  been  filled  out  giving  the  educational  credits 
and  the  other  data  required  by  Law  and  the  same  mailed  to  the  Secre¬ 
tary  of  the  State  Board  of  Education,  Topeka,  Kansas,  no  more  can  be 
done  until  the  State  Board  of  Education  meets  and  acts  upon  the  ap¬ 
plication.  After  the  application  has  been  acted  upon  notification  will  be 
sent  out  as  soon  as  possible. 

Kindly  care  for  certificate  matters  before  the  certificate  is  needed  or 
just  as  soon  thereafter  as  you  know  you  need  it. 

If  you  will  kindly  aid  in  this  way,  time  and  needless  worry  will  be 
saved.  Sincerely, 

Lorraine  Elizabeth  Wooster, 
State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.

mercial  Branches,  Physical  Training,  Music,  Drawing,  Public  Speaking, 
or  other  special  branches  designated  by  the  State  Board  of  Education, 
will  be  granted  to  applicants  who  secure  by  examination  the  credits 
specified  in  Group  I,  section  43, ior  who  have  completed  a  four-year  course 
in  an  accredited  high  school  or  who  have  had  a  satisfactory  equivalent  of 
such  a  course,  and  who  in  addition  thereto  may  furnish  satisfactory  evi¬ 
dence  of  having  completed  a  two-year  course  of  study  in  an  institution 
of  collegiate  rank  approved  for  this  purpose  by  the  State  Board  of  Edu¬ 
cation.  Advanced  or  college  study  must  be  sufficient  to  earn  credit 
amounting  to  not  less  than  sixty  semester  .hours,  including  not  less  than 
twenty-eight  semester  hours  in  the  special  branch  in  which  a  certificate 
is  applied  for  and  three  hours  each  in  General  Psychology,  Methods  of 
Teaching,  and  School  Management,  or  other  equivalent  branches  in  Edu¬ 
cation.  For  certificates  in  music  applicants  must  have,  in  addition  to  the 
required  credits  in  Methods  and  Management,  not  less  than  eight  hours 
of  credit  in  Methods  of  Teaching  Public-school  Music. 

Sec.  28.  In  special  subjects,  such  as  Manual  Training,  Domestic 
Science,  Domestic  Art,  Stenography,  Typewriting,  Physical  Training, 
Music,  Drawing,  etc.,  in  which  the  work  of  the  student  is  largely  or 
wholly  practice  or  laboratory  work,  credits  expressed  in  semester  hours 
are  determined  as  follows:  One  semester  hour  of  credit  is  allowed  for 
three  hours  per  week  for  eighteen  weeks  spent  by  the  student  in  recita¬ 
tions,  practice  or  laboratory  work,  or  in  any  combination  of  these;  credit 
being  based  not  upon  the  number  of  recitations  per  week  but  upon  the 
time  actually  spent  by  the  student  in  preparation  and  in  recitations  or 
“lessons”  combined.  This  is  on  the  assumption  that  in  academic  subjects 
two  hours  of  preparation  and  one  hour  of  recitation  per  week  for 
eighteen  weeks  are  required  for  one  semester  hour  of  credit. 

Sec.  29.  All  credits  except  the  minimum  of  twenty-eight  hours  in  the 
special  branch  may  be  obtained  by  examination,  in  which  fifteen  credits  i* 
Group  I  and  four  in  Group  II,  section  60,  will  be  accepted  as  a  substitute 
for  high  school  and  advanced  study,  respectively,  the  required  branches 
in  the  examination  being  the  same  as  for  three-year  general  certificates. 

Sec.  30.  Successful  experience  in  the  teaching  of  any  special  branch 
in  which  a  certificate  is  provided  for  all  will  be  accepted  temporarily  as 
a  substitute  for  advanced  study  on  the  basis  of  one  year’s  teaching  for 
fifteen  hours  of  credit;  but  any  deficiency  for  which  teaching  experience 
has  been  accepted  as  a  substitute  must  be  made  up  at  the  rate  of  at  least 
six  semester  hours  per  year. 

Sec.  31.  A  special  certificate  in  music  or  drawing  may  be  granted  to 
any  person  who  has  had  not  less  than  ten  years  of  successful  experience 
in  teaching  either  of  these  subjects,  satisfactory  evidence  of  which  shall 
be  required,  and  whose  preparation  and  present  qualifications  shall  be 
acceptable  to  the  State  Board  of  Education. 

Sec.  32.  Special  certificates  do  not  entitle  the  holder  to  teach  in  any 
branch  except  the  branch  or  branches  specified  in  the  certificate. 

Sec.  33.  Special  certificates  are  limited  by  law  to  three  years,  and 
they  may  be  renewed  for  three-year  periods  successively  on  the  presenta¬ 
tion  of  satisfactory  evidence  of  continued  and  successful  teaching.  Ap¬ 
plication  for  renewal  may  be  made  at  any  time  within  six  months  prior 
to  the  date  of  expiration. 

TEMPORARY  CERTIFICATES. 

Sec.  34.  The  State  Board  of  Education  may  issue  temporary  teachers’ 
certificates  valid  for  one  year  only  in  such  schools  and  departments  as 
may  be  specified  in  said  certificate:  Provided,  that  such  temporary  cer¬ 
tificates  shall  be  issued  only  in  an  emergency  in  order  to  supply  the 
schools  with  legally  qualified  teachers;  and  the  state  board  shall  have 
power  to  make  all  rules  and  regulations  relating  to  such  temporary

having  carried  on  advanced  study  approximately  equivalent  to  two  years’ 
study  in. a  normal  school,  college,  or  university,  approved  for  this  purpose. 

Sec.  36.  In  order  that  an  application  for  a  temporary  certificate 
may  be  considered,  the  school  board  desiring  the  applicant’s  services  is 
required  to  present  a  statement  explaining  the  emergency  which  pre¬ 
vents  the  employment  of  a  teacher  holding  a  standard  certificate. 

Sec.  37.  This  certificate  is  not  renewable,  and  only  one  temporary 
certificate  can  be  issued  to  the  same  person.  A  temporary  certificate  can¬ 
not  be  submitted  as  evidence  of  qualification  for  any  other  state  cer¬ 
tificate.

REGISTRATION  OF  STATE  CERTIFICATES. 

Sec.  51.  Every  state  certificate,  state  diploma,  or  other  document 
issued  as  a  teacher’s  certificate  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  or  by

superintendent  of  the  county  or  by  the  clerk  of  the  board  of  education  of 
any  city  of  the  first  or  second  class  in  which  the  holder  contracts  to  teach ; 
and  for  every  certificate  registered  by  a  county  superintendent  a  fee  of 
one  dollar  shall  be  required,  which  shall  be  paid  into  the  normal  institute 
fund.  Failure,  neglect  or  refusal  to  comply  with  the  foregoing  provisions 
will  render  said  certificates,  diploma  or  other  document  void  as  a  teacher’s 
certificate  in  such  township,  county  or  city  of  the  first  or  second  class

Education.  (Laws  1893,  ch.  132,  sec.  11.)

teacher.  (Laws  1893,  ch.  132,  sec.  12.) 

Sec.  54.  Any  certificate  issued  by  the  State  Board  of  Education, 
regents  of  the  State  Normal  School,  county  board  of  examiners  or  city 
board  of  examiners  may  be  revoked  by  the  body  issuing  the  same  on  the 
grounds  of  immorality,  gross  neglect  of  duty,  annulling  of  written  con¬ 
tracts  with  boards  of  education  and  district  boards  without  the  con- 

—  13  — 


sent  of  a  majority  of  the  board  which  is  a  party  to  the  contract,  or  for 
any  cause  that  would  have  justified  the  withholding  thereof  when  the

The  Kansas  State  Normal  School,  Emporia,  the  State  Manual  Train¬ 
ing  Normal  School,  Pittsburg,  and  the  Fort  Hays  Kansas  Normal  School, 
Hays,  have  authority  to  issue  certificates  to  persons  who  complete 
the  required  courses  of  study,  and  hence  these  schools  do  not  require 
formal  recognition  by  the  State  Board  of  Education;  but  the  state  board 
accepts  credits  obtained  in  the  normal  schools  to  apply  on  the  require¬ 
ments  for  state  certificates  and  their  renewal.
